About.
Solène Milcent is a French photographer currently based in Barcelona. Growing up in a rural area in the west of France she feels a very strong connection with the nature and the Earth.

MY WORK
Taking pictures on film is all about being patient.
I think, I hold my breath a few seconds and then I push the button to shoot. Going through the whole procedure of planning, shooting, developing, scanning, gives a personal value to my pictures and even having a kind of relationship with them.
In a world of screens, high technology, busy and fast life, I feel the need of slowing down the time and going back to analog photography procedure. Through my photography I show my vision of the world in a specific moment. Nature, People, visual poetry are my favorite subjects.
I use Vintage Polaroids and Analog camera with 35mm film. My work is about cold winter, self portrait in the warm desert, moment of grace, people gazes, lost feelings in a big city...
